A virtual fashion show
“Crashes with pedestrians spike in fall and winter as the weather changes and daylight hours decrease. When pedestrians get hurt, nobody wins. Whether you’re driving on the road or walking on the sidewalk, safety is up to all of us. … Almost one in five people killed in car crashes across B.C. are pedestrians.”
We shop in bright stores where we think we look fantastic in blend-into-the-night black coats – without considering how outta-sight we (don’t) appear to drivers. The Winter Solstice is not only an invitation to hang sparkling lights in windows and on evergreen shrubbery, but also brighten up our wardrobe.
For the second time, VCH is holding a [virtual] fashion show to highlight how the decision to wear black/dark winter jackets need not be discounted as an unsafe choice. We know that there are dozens of clever, stylish and visible ideas of fashionable accessorizing and adaptations that have made black wool coat or the dark leather jacket …seen. Let’s see them, and be sure to share your favourite ideas! First prize is a pair of Fluevog shoes!
